This faq is copyrighted by Piggy Mog and host by www.gamefaqs.com. No one can
copy the information of this faq without consent. The information of this faq
is based on Sankoku Musou 3: Empires and therefore some names and information
are translated and may be different from the English version.
Vanquish: Just like it said, defeat as many enemies as you can. Basically it's
a competition between you and the 2nd player. You can see there is a gauge at
the right top corner. You fill that up by getting some items (usually those
gold heads). Underneath the gauge will show that what you can summon when you
announce yourself. You'll get a surprise if you get the gauge full. Choose from
3 difficulties and 3/5/10 minutes
Pilfer: It's basically a treasure hunt. You break wooden crates and defeat
supply captains get some treasures. All you need to do is get some treasure and
run back to the merchant. If you notice the bar at the right bottom corner,
it's the capacity of treasure your character can get. Bigger guys can get more
stuff, and smaller people get less, you can tell. If a character is carrying
too much treasures (the gauge will flash), and his/her running speed will be
greatly reduced. Also, if you're discovered by the guards, you'll be in
pursuit. Choose from 3 difficulties and 3/5/10 minutes.
Melee: Same as before, but with bigger settings and short barricades
surrounding the area. Choose from 3 difficulties and 3/5/10 minutes.
Endurance: You and your competitor will be standing on a small square land
surrounding by a poison pond. Enemy soldiers, Tiger Tanks, and generals will
come out by time to time. You need to endure for 10 minutes. Basically the one
survives will win the game, but if both survives, then KO rules the result.
Choose from 3 difficulties.

2) Warrior: He is a big guy with massive muscle.
3) Strategist: A young strategist that looks harmless.
4) Princess: The female model from Dynasty Warriors 4.

Japanese version.

the Qiao sisters.

Fu Xi?s voice in Japanese version.
2) Savage: A manly voice compatible to Warrior model.
